Describe how Jupiter got its name: The god of the sky, Jupiter gave Jupiter it's name.
Who discovered Jupiter? No single person discovered Jupiter, as it is visible to the human eye.
Distances: Order from the sun: Jupiter is the 5th planet from the sun. Distance from the sun: Jupiter is 741 million km from the sun. Distance from Earth: The most distance is 928,081,020 km. apart, the least distance is 628,743,036 km. apart.
Planet Measurements: Mass: 1.9* 10^27 kg Volume: (1010 km^3)
Orbit and Rotation: Number of Days To Orbit Around the Sun: 4, 331 Earth days Perihelion( how close does it get to the sun): 740.52(10^6)km Aphelion ( how far does it get from the sun): 570,000,000 miles Length of One Day( number of hours in one day): 9 hours and 54 minutes are in one of Jupiter's days.
Equilateral circumference: Mean Density: 1.37 g/cm^3 Gravity: 2.5* Earth's gravity
Planet Appearance: Jupiter's surface has a Great Red Spot, which is a giant storm over Planet Jupiter. Jupiter is one of the brightest objects in the sky. It has red "belts" around it.
Rings: There are 3 rings, which are faint dark and narrow. They are composed of rock fragments and dust.
Satellites (moons): There are 63 known moons. The largest moons are Lo, Europa, Ganymede, Callisto.
Composition: Core Composition: liquid rock Surface composition: gas and liquid
Atmosphere: Major Gases: Molecular hydrogen and helium are the major gases. Minor Gases: Gaseous ammonia, methane, water, ethane, acetylene, carbon monoxide, hydrogen, cyanide, phosphine, and germane are the minor gases.
Surface Conditions: Wind Speeds: The wind can go up to 360 kph on Jupiter. Temperature ranges: -145 degrees celsius to 20 degrees celsius...further temperatures are 9,700 degrees celsius to 35,000 degrees celsius. Surface pressure: less than 1% of Earth's surface pressure
Weather: Jupiter's weather is huge, just like the planet itself. Storms that last hundreds of years are normal, and they cldan grow to cover thousands of kilometers within hours.
Water: All forms of water can be found on Jupiter, liquid water, water vapor, and ice.
Explorations: Probe pioneer-March 2nd, 1972. Voyager Land 2, the summer of 1977. Galite, 1989. Cassini, October 15, 1997.
Habitability: they would be crushed by gravity, and poisoned by its atmosphere, then would be absorbed.
Future human travel: If you put someone on planit Jupiter they would fall until they hit the inner core or you would be crushed.
Terraforming: In order to live on Jupiter, you would need oxygen, and more solid.
Cool facts:
How much would you weigh on your planet? 90*2.528 kg (a 90 lbs. kid would weigh 227.52 lbs.).
3 neat facts about Jupiter:
1. 1/10 the size of the sun
2. it takes Jupiter to orbit around the sun as long as 12 Earth years.
3. you can fit 100 Earth's into Jupiter's Great Red Spot.
